Predators vs Hurricanes Prediction

The Predators are 5-1 in their last 6 meetings against the Canes and the over is 3-1 in their last 4 meetings.

In this Predators vs Hurricanes Prediction, the Hurricanes are coming as -220 home favorites. The Hurricanes have been the far better team this season, having six more total wins than the Preds and twice as many wins at home than the Preds on the road. They have been unstable lately, while on the other hand the Preds have been red-hot with a 4-1 record in their last 5 games. The Canes might not be in good form lately, but they have been better both offensively and defensively throughout the season and I like them in a bounce-back spot today. Take the Hurricanes to win this one comfortably and cover the puckline.
